      Not even that. Russians are Europeans, and they would do the same to them in a heartbeat if they could.

        As far as Europeans are concerned? Russians are Asian.

        “Europe” is a fake continent so they can just arbitrarily decide who gets to be part of the club.

          I’ll never get over how the east-west Europe framing got changed after the 90s, and how nowadays poles, Czechs, Slovaks etc are so desperate to be “in the club” that the concept of “central Europe” suddenly became so important to them, to the point that they will get triggered by any implication that they’re eastern European, despite their long history of literally being slavs.

            Central Europe was originally a thing to imply that the Habsburgs and Hohenzollern realms are more “Asiatic despots” than the good and righteous western european democratic governments of France and the UK. The German Empire promoted this also because it meant they could do more “in your face” colonialism and clamp down harder on people wanting more political equality because Germany was not “western european”.

            So its like twice the fools errand that the czechs and slovaks do. Worse is probably the Baltics thinking they are northern europeans because sweden colonized estonia or something.

            nah, central europe as a concept is much older, the cold war split of western vs eastern europe was the new thing.

            eastern europe used to roughly mean the parts that are eastern orthodox christian, and central europe was the catholic areas next to it (HRE + its “extensions” by prussia and austria)

              Sure, but there’s definitely some auto-chauvinism going on among people of formerly socialist nations in Europe, especially ‘progressive’ liberals. I often heard people say that we here are culturally backwards because of our inherent cultural traits like dishonesty and laziness, often contrasting that to for example the honest hardworking Germans. Sometimes this supposed backwardness is also blamed on socialism.

              It’s as sad and pathetic as it sounds but it’s a real thing I’ve experienced quite often.

        Slavs aren’t and have never been considered “White” or “European” by the West. Their inclusion in these terms is conditional on their geopolitical allegiance.

    The Western European and British diaspora continues the same war crimes in the Residential fake schools against Indigenous people even when they accuse Nazi German for copying the war crimes in the Holocaust. The evidence for the rampart violence, rape, savagery, and cannibalism in the fake schools had constantly been leaked to the whole communities of European immigrants in North American, Pacific Islands, and Australia. However, the British diaspora receive so much bribery and free riding prestige from the disciples of the anti-Christ that they dismiss the evidence that their governments continued the same war crimes that they attributed to Nazi German and projected to Joseph Stalin. They even continue to elect the disciples of the anti-Chirst as their leaders. Although there are true Christians and genuine human rights advocates among the European diaspora, the European immigrants communities often sided with the anti-Christ in authority to rob the righteous people and human rights advocates of their education credential, their career, and their families.

    They exhausted their supply of free Indigenous child slaves, human child experimental subjects, and stolen inheritance from the fake cultural assimilation after 1998 which cause their current economic decline, their need to import enourmous number of immigrants of Non-European ancestry to survive, and their need to sent their lazy members of European immigrants into permanent poverty until they forfeit the lazy free riding culture of their ancestors. Their are bigots among the older generation of British diaspora and Western Europeans who created scapegoat for the cultural decline, but they need to accept the reality that their success depends on colonial free riding, thief of skilled laborers, thief of innovations from non-European civilization, thief of cultivated land, debt trapping, puppet governments, child slaves, stolen inheritance, and free riding of Indigenous people.
